February 19

Happy Birthday Della!

Just in case you have not heard the news...an anonymous donor gave enough to complete our grant through Donor's Choose...so we will be receiving 4 iPads! Yeah!!! I don not know when they will arrive (takes a bit for paperwork to clear and orders to be made). However, I am very proud of all of the parents, family friends and student piggy banks that made this possible...you are amazing!

Here is sampling of what happened at school today:

"It was nice when Grace said I could join her creating with Widgets during choice time." Colin
"We was nice to share a book with Madeline during quiet reading time." Savannah
"I enjoyed making a paper box during choosing time." Peter
"We really liked playing with each other at recess!" Aoife & Hannah
"Evan and Cole gave me a good idea of what to draw during choice time." Sami
"Cole and I had a discussion about a math idea, and when I was right, Cole was really nice and mature about it." Bailey
"I enjoyed learning about what kids in other countries do when their baby teeth fall out." Grace & others... (we read the book Throw Your Tooth on the Roof)

It was a busy day...remember, 2 hour late opening tomorrow! We will get started right away with literacy centers when the students arrive. Enjoy this sunny afternoon! :)
